Chinese New Year: Black Water (Female) Dragon in 2012 |
In the Chinese lunar calendar, the ‘Year of the Black Water (Female) Dragon’ 4709 will begin on |
4 February 2012. The sequence of the twelve animals is Rat, Cow, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, |
Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, and Pig. In the traditional 60-year and 120-year cycles, the |
animals are combined with Yin-Yang and the Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth): |

In Chinese astrology, the Dragon is a legendary animal, and is a symbol of the emperor in China. |
Chinese consider that the dragon is ‘coated with mysterious color’ -- unpredictable, untouchable, |
and, according to legend, people cannot see its head and tail at the same time. |
Chinese New Year marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring, a time for family reunions, |
honoring ancestors, and thanking the gods for their blessings. “Gung Hay Fat Choy”, the traditional |
greeting, can be translated as “Best wishes and Congratulations. Have a prosperous and good year.” |
